SJ Folks: Iguana's or La Vic?

So which one is tastier?
I'm gonna have one or the other for lunch tomorrow, and I want your opinions please!
Unless there's a better place besides the two; if so, please do tell!

Agreed! However, the smokiness of Iguana's sauce is pretty delicious.

Also, +2 for Iguanas for their Carne Asada Nacho Fries AND Super Nachos!

MMM.

Taqueria Lorena's! Walking distance from my place, and I'd go here even if it was on the other side of town. The only thing that La Vic's has on it is the orange sauce. Other than that, this place is where it's at.

I can only vouch for the one off of S 24th, haven't been to the one on 13th yet.

La Vic man.... I've been going there since high school and their food is great! From the burritos to the quesadillas and to the nachos, even to the horchata, yum stuff.

La Vics is best for their sauce, but all around their food is great. The only thing Iguanas has over them is prolly a bigger burrito and a student discount.

La Victoria's burritos are good, Iguanas' Nacho Fries are good, but their burritos have way too much rice and beans, instead of meat.

I like La Vics, but purely because of the sauce.

Without the orange sauce, I wouldn't eat there.

Which is a bad thing, look how dependent we all are on the orange sauce just to eat at La Vics.

The orange sauce hides the inferiority of the food compared to other Mexi places.

But please, on busy nights, keep going there, so the spot I go to around the area doesn't become the new overcrowded spot.

la vics has sauce, but the place is a little bit dirty.

iguanas for burritos, and the place is a lot cleaner.

havent ate at either too often to say, but i guess ill go with iggys.
